Jan slipped his hands into warm pockets giving the petite lady a blank look.

“So, you are using me?” he asked, deadpanned. “Couldn’t even think to buy me a drink. Just take what you need for your own and slink into the night?”

“Tsk. That won’t do. Not have you doing that to me. To yourself,”  Now with arms crossing and a cock of his head, his demeanor was determined. “Just walk next to me, at least give me the courtesy of it looking like a proper stroll, mm?  You game? I promise to scare away any and all threats.”

“‘Use ‘em and lose ‘em’, I am the true shame of the Romance language family. The worst of the Casanovas, you’ve caught me.”

What could she say? She found herself hilarious. Joking aside, she ceased skulking about and tried to match her pace with Jan’s. Key word here being ‘tried’. Lurking about suspiciously was much easier but this was the price to pay for being polite.

“I’ll play along if you promise to look particularly discouraging to muggers and the like. Extra tall and alert, you get the general jist?”

@cafe-der-nederlanden from here:

“It has been quite some time since we last spoke so I felt it would be best to greet you this way. I did not wish to be rude.” Elise explained herself when he noticed the formality. It came naturally to her after so many years of training.

“You’re correct, I cannot afford to stay away for long periods of time. I even had work to do during my travels and barely any time to speak with most. I’m rather glad that my companion, Edelweiss, was with me for this trip. She kept me company. But how have you been?”

What about Mattijs? Not good enough?

[Turns pink.] W-Well, you asked the question, and I figure you know what you call me, so...I didn’t mean to leave you out or anything! I just wanted to keep things short-

The Dutchman bowed his head slightly with a small shrug, giving his answer in just a few words. “Been doing alright. working hard, playing hard, you know the drill.”

Thankfully Vidar too was a man of few words, so he nodded once sharply in appreciation. Oh yes, he knew the drill. “How’s the family?” And if he remembered right Jan too valued those closest to him.

Cigarettes

A hum escaped her lips before silence adorned the air, her eyes fully immersed in watching- though staring would better qualify in terms of accuracy- the man reach for something in his pocket. Cigarettes. Excellent. Wordlessly she raised her hand and opened her palm, raising her brow to the cigarette, then looking at her hand and after that the Dutchman, a silent demand for the cigarette. @cafe-der-nederlanden

@cafe-der-nederlanden replied to your post: “ashes, we all fall down.” No, it’s from my new smokes. It’s relaxing enough to just lie down and gaze at the clouds or some shit.

Well that’s a relief. Are you going to share since you’re telling me so much about them?

cafe-der-nederlanden replied to your post “Hey, I just bought that book "Rabbit Behaviour, Health and Care" and...”

"It was a gap I had to bridge, yes." The Dutchman blinks as if he could ever say no to such a question as he rubs his hands together, unnoticeable. "But of course."

“Alright. Let me find a picture, then.” He whips out his phone and starts browsing through the gallery to find a picture of a tiny bunny washing itself. “The name’s Nemi. I am still wondering how big she’ll grow. I was told that not too much, but I beg to differ when I see how much she eats.”

Send me ?? to interact with my muse while sleep deprived.

“Did you Dutch all evolve to become tall so you’d be high enough to stand above water level? Seein’ as The Netherlands is gonna be flooded with risin’ sea levels and all that.“I bet you ate all the li'l people. You have the kinda face that screams ‘Natural Selection’.”

Jan blinks when he sees a familiar tall figure of a man-it can only be that Nordic. Stepping up behind him and coming around to the side, the Dutchman is easily able to look him straight in the eye. "Zweden, seems I'm only communicating by email with you these days about overseeing the IKEA chain. Good to see you."

There’s one or two things he can’t really handle-- and somehow Jan managed to do one without meaning to straight at the beginning. He’s amazed, truly, not even Mathias succeeds in making him jump out of his skin often. Congratulations. Even though that doesn’t keep him from replying in earnest.“Not much time for simple meet ups, sadly. Ye fared well?” For being surprised he hopes he still sounds pleasant enough. After all, Vidar enjoys the Dutchman’s company.

It’s nice to bless the world with my ass once again.

Ah, no worries, I think we survived just fine. [still the hug is more than welcomed as he hugs her in return] So, same ol’ thing, eh? [blinks] Antics? Hate to disappoint but I’ve nothing to report.

Ja, same old thing. I swear, I get so sick of looking at paperwork. Remember way back in the day when we didn’t have to worry about mountains full of paperwork? Those were the days, Jan. And I took them for granted. [Amelie sighs.] Oh well, at least I’m home now. I’m thankful for that. No antics? Hm… I think this just proves that your life is absolutely boring without me, no? [She grins.]

[chokes and just makes an awkward expression] ….But you won’t be who you are today.

You’re right.  Who wants to be brought up speakin’ Dutch?  May as well have throat cancer.

hc + morning routine

send me  ‘ hc ‘  + a word and i’ll write a headcanon about it regarding my character.

Cécile is not one who can be called ‘a morning person’. She isn’t so much cranky as she is somewhat dazed when she wakes up. It takes her a few times of hitting the snooze button on her alarm before her eyes stop drooping closed and she pulls a robe on. By then it’s usually 07:30-08:00 and she more or less sleep walks down to the kitchen for a light breakfast of nothing more than part of a pastry (and some very sweetened coffee). Weather permitting, she takes her breakfast outside to soak up some sunshine and people watch. Next up? The bathroom where she freshens up/preens in front of the mirror. It takes no more than 15 minutes after that to coordinate an outfit. Then, of course, there is her hair to deal with. If it’s a productive morning, she is ready for the day by 9:45-10:00!
